Rick Wilson argues that Donald Trump’s political tricks are no longer working because his approval ratings and economic credibility have collapsed, so stunts like renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” now draw ridicule instead of fear. He says Trump’s tariffs, corruption, and cuts to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and USAID are hurting the very red-state farmers, ranchers, and working people who once supported him, while also damaging America’s reputation abroad. Wilson warns that Trump is shifting campaign money toward ads that tie Republicans to his legacy, which could hurt swing-seat candidates, and he emphasizes that Trump remains dangerous even as his influence appears to be fading.

Trump's Old Tricks Don't Work Anymore w/ Rick Wilson

Andrew Weissman explained that the Supreme Court’s initial mail-in ballot decision was mainly about timing, saying the case was brought too early because the final Postal Service rule had not yet been issued, while a lower court later blocked that final rule for the midterms because the states could not realistically comply with it in time. He argued the issue is troubling because presidential elections are supposed to be run by the states, not the federal government, and warned that the rule would effectively let the executive branch interfere in voting in a way that raises serious concerns about partisanship and disenfranchisement. He also discussed why the three liberal justices wrote separately, suggesting Justice Jackson was addressing the broader public while Justices Kagan and Sotomayor focused more narrowly on legal strategy, and he predicted the rule would likely not be implemented for November, though other voting-related shenanigans could still occur.
